RTV 500 with camoplast 4s utv tracks, Bobcat 773 with filled tires and steel tracks
Copied Dixiedog's lighting idea. Found LED lighting tape at an auto audio store. Sold by the ft but can be cut/soldered every 3".

I used three strips, one across the top and 2 down between the levers. The lighting tape has adhesive backing so when I finished soldering them together and to some wires I simply stuck it to the metal under the dash. I tapped into the headlight wires so they will always come on when it's that dark.

First day I got the rtv I went outside after work to test drive and boy was it hard to see what I was doing. This was a great idea Dixie:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Great addition. I can't believe Kubota didn't have a little lighting in the dash area from the factory. Lights made it a lot better to drive at night.:thumbsup:


Next stop is backup lights. I've got the clear LED light strips I just need the ambition to put them on and hook up a pressure switch so they come on when I shift into reverse.:cool:

Once I finally find a switch that does what I'm looking for I'll be putting them in. I'll make sure to get some pics for you.:D
